Further information

Private Company Limited by Shares:

  • A private company limited by shares in England and Wales must have at least one director, one shareholder, and may have a secretary.

  • You need at least one person to form this type of company. If there is only one director, and that director is a natural person in your company, that director can also act as the secretary.

  • A company must have at least one director who is a natural person. This requirement is met if the office of director is held by a natural person as a corporation sole or otherwise by virtue of an office.

  • You can register a sole director' company, if you are familiar with the secretaries duties and responsibilities, because all of them belongs to a sole director.

  • The directors and secretary of your company can also be shareholders.

  • The Companies Act imposes no restriction on the minimum age of company directors. However Companies House will actively discourage the appointment of anyone under the age of 16 from taking up a company directorship on the grounds that the individuals concerned may not fully understand the legal liabilities that go with the position and for the most part will not have the experience necessary to perform the duties of a company director.

  • Under the Companies Act 2006, there is no restriction on any or all of the members/shareholders being from an overseas country (i.e. outside the United Kingdom in terms of residency, domicile, citizenship, place of incorporation or all or any of those concepts).

  • There is no requirement for the officers of your company to be UK citizens or residents, nor for them to hold valid work permits.

  • Owning, or being an officer of a UK company does not, however, grant you any right to live or work in the UK if you are a foreign national.

  • Your company must have a registered office address within England or Wales; this is the official address of your company and will be on the public record as such.

  • Your company must hold its official company documents at its registered office address: its register of shareholders, and its constitutional documents.

  • So long as you maintain a registered office address in England or Wales, you can conduct your business from any place in the world: you do not have to run your business from your registered office address.

    A business may be conducted by a company as an entity in its own right and comes into existence by incorporation under companies legislation which also regulates the running of the company and sets out the duties of its officers. In recent years trading trusts have been commonly used as the structure for carrying on a business with their main objective of tax minimization. A trust requires a trustee to act on behalf of a trust and it has been preferable to have a company newly incorporated to act as the trustee as it is believed that this limits the liability of the trust to the paid-up capital of the Trustee Company. A trust is formed by a gift or settlement being made to the trustee on behalf of the, as yet unformed, trust. A solicitor draws up a Trust Deed setting out the powers and formalizing the administration of the trust. The trust has beneficiaries rather than shareholders as in a company, who are entitled to distributions of capital and/or income and these distributions, are controlled by the trustee.
    Previous
    Next
    The distribution made to beneficiaries are subject to income tax as part of their personal income and are liable for provisional tax on these distributions. Citizens and residents of other countries may incorporate in the United Kingdom through the standard incorporation procedures set forth by each state.

     CHAPTER II
     REMEDIES FOR UNFAIR DISMISSAL
     
    Introductory
    Complaints to industrial tribunal.    111. - (1) A complaint may be presented to an industrial tribunal against an employer by any person that he was unfairly dismissed by the employer.
     
         (2) Subject to subsection (3), an industrial tribunal shall not consider a complaint under this section unless it is presented to the tribunal-
     
     
      (a) before the end of the period of three months beginning with the effective date of termination, or
     
      (b) within such further period as the tribunal considers reasonable in a case where it is satisfied that it was not reasonably practicable for the complaint to be presented before the end of that period of three months.
         (3) Where a dismissal is with notice, an industrial tribunal shall consider a complaint under this section if it is presented after the notice is given but before the effective date of termination.
     
         (4) In relation to a complaint which is presented as mentioned in subsection (3), the provisions of this Act, so far as they relate to unfair dismissal, have effect as if-
     
     
      (a) references to a complaint by a person that he was unfairly dismissed by his employer included references to a complaint by a person that his employer has given him notice in such circumstances that he will be unfairly dismissed when the notice expires,
     
      (b) references to reinstatement included references to the withdrawal of the notice by the employer,
     
      (c) references to the effective date of termination included references to the date which would be the effective date of termination on the expiry of the notice, and
     
      (d) references to an employee ceasing to be employed included references to an employee having been given notice of dismissal.
    The remedies: orders and compensation.    112. - (1) This section applies where, on a complaint under section 111, an industrial tribunal finds that the grounds of the complaint are well-founded.
     
         (2) The tribunal shall-
     
     
      (a) explain to the complainant what orders may be made under section 113 and in what circumstances they may be made, and
     
      (b) ask him whether he wishes the tribunal to make such an order.
         (3) If the complainant expresses such a wish, the tribunal may make an order under section 113.
     
         (4) If no order is made under section 113, the tribunal shall make an award of compensation for unfair dismissal (calculated in accordance with sections 118 to 127) to be paid by the employer to the employee.
     
     
    Orders for reinstatement or re-engagement
    The orders.    113. An order under this section may be-
     
     
      (a) an order for reinstatement (in accordance with section 114), or
     
      (b) an order for re-engagement (in accordance with section 115),
     as the tribunal may decide.
     
    Order for reinstatement.    114. - (1) An order for reinstatement is an order that the employer shall treat the complainant in all respects as if he had not been dismissed.
     
         (2) On making an order for reinstatement the tribunal shall specify-
     
     
      (a) any amount payable by the employer in respect of any benefit which the complainant might reasonably be expected to have had but for the dismissal (including arrears of pay) for the period between the date of termination of employment and the date of reinstatement,
     
      (b) any rights and privileges (including seniority and pension rights) which must be restored to the employee, and
     
      (c) the date by which the order must be complied with.
         (3) If the complainant would have benefited from an improvement in his terms and conditions of employment had he not been dismissed, an order for reinstatement shall require him to be treated as if he had benefited from that improvement from the date on which he would have done so but for being dismissed.
     
         (4) In calculating for the purposes of subsection (2)(a) any amount payable by the employer, the tribunal shall take into account, so as to reduce the employer's liability, any sums received by the complainant in respect of the period between the date of termination of employment and the date of reinstatement by way of-
     
     
      (a) wages in lieu of notice or ex gratia payments paid by the employer, or
     
      (b) remuneration paid in respect of employment with another employer,
     and such other benefits as the tribunal thinks appropriate in the circumstances.
     
         (5) Where a dismissal is treated as taking place by virtue of section 96, references in this section to the date of termination of employment are to the notified date of return.
     
    Order for re-engagement.    115. - (1) An order for re-engagement is an order, on such terms as the tribunal may decide, that the complainant be engaged by the employer, or by a successor of the employer or by an associated employer, in employment comparable to that from which he was dismissed or other suitable employment.
     
         (2) On making an order for re-engagement the tribunal shall specify the terms on which re-engagement is to take place, including-
     
     
      (a) the identity of the employer,
     
      (b) the nature of the employment,
     
      (c) the remuneration for the employment,
     
      (d) any amount payable by the employer in respect of any benefit which the complainant might reasonably be expected to have had but for the dismissal (including arrears of pay) for the period between the date of termination of employment and the date of re-engagement,
     
      (e) any rights and privileges (including seniority and pension rights) which must be restored to the employee, and
     
      (f) the date by which the order must be complied with.
         (3) In calculating for the purposes of subsection (2)(d) any amount payable by the employer, the tribunal shall take into account, so as to reduce the employer's liability, any sums received by the complainant in respect of the period between the date of termination of employment and the date of re-engagement by way of-
     
     
      (a) wages in lieu of notice or ex gratia payments paid by the employer, or
     
      (b) remuneration paid in respect of employment with another employer,
     and such other benefits as the tribunal thinks appropriate in the circumstances.
     
         (4) Where a dismissal is treated as taking place by virtue of section 96, references in this section to the date of termination of employment are to the notified date of return.
     
    Choice of order and its terms.    116. - (1) In exercising its discretion under section 113 the tribunal shall first consider whether to make an order for reinstatement and in so doing shall take into account-
     
     
      (a) whether the complainant wishes to be reinstated,
     
      (b) whether it is practicable for the employer to comply with an order for reinstatement, and
     
      (c) where the complainant caused or contributed to some extent to the dismissal, whether it would be just to order his reinstatement.
         (2) If the tribunal decides not to make an order for reinstatement it shall then consider whether to make an order for re-engagement and, if so, on what terms.
     
         (3) In so doing the tribunal shall take into account-
     
     
      (a) any wish expressed by the complainant as to the nature of the order to be made,
     
      (b) whether it is practicable for the employer (or a successor or an associated employer) to comply with an order for re-engagement, and
     
      (c) where the complainant caused or contributed to some extent to the dismissal, whether it would be just to order his re-engagement and (if so) on what terms.
         (4) Except in a case where the tribunal takes into account contributory fault under subsection (3)(c) it shall, if it orders re-engagement, do so on terms which are, so far as is reasonably practicable, as favourable as an order for reinstatement.
     
         (5) Where in any case an employer has engaged a permanent replacement for a dismissed employee, the tribunal shall not take that fact into account in determining, for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) or (3)(b), whether it is practicable to comply with an order for reinstatement or re-engagement.
     
         (6) Subsection (5) does not apply where the employer shows-

     to be paid by the employer to the employee.
     
         (4) Subsection (3)(b) does not apply where-
     
     
      (a) the employer satisfies the tribunal that it was not practicable to comply with the order, or

         (8) Where in any case an industrial tribunal finds that the complainant has unreasonably prevented an order under section 113 from being complied with, in making an award of compensation for unfair dismissal (in accordance with sections 118 to 127) it shall take that conduct into account as a failure on the part of the complainant to mitigate his loss.
